Books, Toys and Logger Boys from the Open Book joined the fun tonight and escaped Neverland with 15:08 left on the clock. This group employed excellent deductive and communication skills, along with great teamwork. First time escape roomers, these folks played liked veterans and landed 7th on our top ten fastest leaderboard, as well as 3rd on our business board! Well done Open Book :)

The Open Book's team Books, Toys and Logger Boys has officially taken the top position on our Fan Favorite Leaderboard with an astonishing 120 likes! Their 72 hours is up at this exact moment, so 120 will stand as their final number. Koodos to Cariboo Dental -
Incisors of Justice...Batman? who now hold second position on the same board with 109 likes! Several teams still have 24 hours left so this race isn't over, but it's looking good for the Open Book team! Well done :)

Good morning Williams Lake! We have the results of our Hooked Escape Room Leaderboards! Over 100 teams and 600+ people attempted to escape this year!! The competition has never been more fierce or more fun!

The Fastest Escape time once again goes to Dang-It, which we jokingly call the seal team of escape rooms ;) This team is a joy to watch as they escape with some of the best strategy, skill, deduction, teamwork, and communication possible. With 23:50 left on the clock, they crushed the competition! Well done, Dang-It!!

Our Business Board had over 15 teams compete with last year's second place winner's becoming this year's top team! Axis Family Resources - Second Stars to the Right escaped with 15:43 left on the clock! First timers Cariboo-U Brew - Spunky Monkey and the Open Book's - Books, Toys and Logger Boys gave strong 2nd and 3rd showings with roughly 30 seconds more time taken! In general, all competing businesses brought their A-game, and we enjoyed their sportsmanship and great attitudes! Thank you ;)

Best Team Spirit was a fight between 2 tied teams until Peter Pan's Posse showed up from the EFC Youth team. With the most elaborate head to toe costumes of the event, these guys scored a perfect 10 for x-factor and had teamwork and enthusiasm to match with special cheers, encouragement, and even songs sprinkled throughout their escape. Second place goes to Never Mind and the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex - Recreation Renegades whose costumes, enthusiasm, positive attitudes and teamwork added up to 2 points shy of a perfect score!! Thank you to the efforts that these teams and others made to making our event such a success!!

Fan Favorite Photo will be announced after the final teams have completed their 72 hour window, but for now, Cariboo Dental - Incisors of Justice...Batman? still has a commanding lead with 109 likes! Only time will tell if this crew holds the lead, but regardless, this group should be proud of their escape room showing, fun attitude and record breaking number of likes to date! Book Club Babes and Hooked on Pixie Dust also deserve mentions with mid-70 photo likes and some undeniable fun factor ;)

We will be in contact with the winning teams to arrange transfer of their pizza party prizes in the next week. Thanks to Panago and our other contributors, along with our Maranatha volunteers that helped along the way! We couldn't have imagined such a great turn-out, and we truly appreciate all of the kind words and feedback received from those who participated. Many thanks to all,

Mike and Shandi

Four Against One ended up being five against Hook as they took down his puzzles and escaped Neverland with 2:47 to spare! This team had a lot of fun en route but still stayed the course and kept to the task at hand. With great teamwork and communication, everyone contributed to this win. You'd never know that this team was a composite of two groups by the way they escaped together! Well done Four Against One :)
